Although the year 1880 predates the modern Olympic revival, it did not host any Olympic Games. At that time, the concept of reviving the ancient Greek Olympic tradition was still gaining traction among European academics and visionaries. The groundwork for the modern Olympic Games was being laid during this period, particularly by individuals like Pierre de Coubertin who believed sports could build character and international unity. However, the actual launch of the first modern Olympics didn’t take place until 1896 in Athens, Greece. Choosing 1880 as your answer shows you're thinking chronologically, but the Olympic flame hadn't been reignited just yet.
